.Starrk Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I like the Marxist theory better. It was the closest thing to a successful communist government....being that all past and present ones fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azmodius Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Wow, it seems like everyone fails to know the real definition of communism so far. Also, how is it nerdish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenzoTheHarpist Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 There are many, many variants of Communism... whether or not any work in society, cannot be decided by blanket application of the failures of one type to that of another. People overgeneralize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catterjune Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I know YCM is full people who can't come up with a decent conversation but like... damn, are you guys like this in real life? Walk up to someone and be all like: "Trains! Let's talk about trains!" That's a terrible way to start any worthwhile discussion. The best way to get a decent convo started is for the first poster to state his opinion first. Like damn, is it really that difficult for you kids to communicate?

Catterjune Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 [quote name='=Evangelion=' timestamp='1291875382' post='4839492'] The TCG section you rule over is basically like that o_O *Posts card* Discuss. [/quote] I'm aware. It sucks there and it sucks here too. At the very least, the default discussion is about how the card affects the meta. What's this discussion supposed to be about? Why communism has failed every time it was implemented and what can be done to stop that? Which is better, communism or capitalism? Why communism gets such a bad stigma in today's society? There's so much to discuss on the subject of communism and by throwing out such a wide net you end up not catching anything.

JG. Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Personally, I find communism to be an "ok" form of government. Only part that I utterly despise is the fact that in most commie countries you get jailed simply for stating your opinion. See this years Nobel Peace prize for examples.

GenzoTheHarpist Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I like the Bakunin anarchist-communist idea. Small, self-directed communes as the basic form of living is pretty much the only way I see anarchy working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] EAOTJFAKENFGAKENFKEAFKAEMFE+KAFMALFKAE+GTJATRFEAFGTAELKGLKFE=R%=#PKTRM*GAE!!!!!!!!!! OT: I personally think the basic idea of Communism - "having an equal world" - is really good. Then again, I can't stand hard-working people having the same salary as those who aren't. Men aren't machines. In the end, the seemingly good idea becomes horrible.[/captain obvious post] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[quote name='Mikhail Bakunin'] The liberty of man consists solely in this, that he obeys the laws of nature because he has himself recognized them as such, and not because they have been imposed upon him externally by any foreign will whatsoever, human or divine, collective or individual.[/quote] One is but their influences. From the moment one's born, cause and effect is what shapes an individual. Because one cannot obey any law without guidance from some form of influence throughout their cause and effect shaping, they could not liberate themselves if we're to take Bakunin's quote at face value. Governments in general don't work because of their tendency to assume that those in power know what is right and have the intention to apply what is right. Communisms generally base theirselves on distributing power evenly to all people involved, but the problem still remains. Communisms generally don't work because of their tendency to assume that those involved know what is right and have the intention to apply what is right.
